All of us practiced with our instruments for the upcoming assessment which is due on Wednesday in the theory music session. During the instrument class period we also practiced our respective songs by ourselves and in front of the teacher.
I did okay during the practice session, although I need to practice on the dynamics of the song more.
I will practice more frequently during the next two days for the assessment.

During today's theory music class we watched some of our classmates perform their song for the upcoming assessment. I think their performance was good. We also did the chromatic scale, which is new to most of us.
I didn't play my song for the assessment smoothly because I didn't have time to practice at home.
I ned to practice a lot more, since the assessment is only a week from today and also to practice doing two octaves of chromatic scales.

In today's theory music class, some of my classmates did the G, D, A and E major scales and 7th chords and their inversions. Then, I played 16 bars of my song choice for my assessment.
When playing my song I did okay, but I still played some notes wrong.
I will practice more frequently at home during my free time or during my piano lesson with my teacher.

In today's theory class we had a test on major scales, chords and chord inversions. In practical class we played our songs for practice for the upcoming assessment.
I think I did well on the test, and it was pretty easy. For the song for the assessment I need to practice more of it because I can't play it correctly.
I will practice more on chord inversions and other major scales other than the usual major scales. I also need to practice my song for the upcoming assessment.

During today's theory music class we practiced the major scales, 7th chords and their inversions. In practical class we practiced our songs for the upcoming music assessment.
I did okay on this lesson. I wrote down the G major scale correctly on the board. For the practice session even though I didn't bring my sheet I remembered the beginning and played some of it.
I will practice the major scales and 7th chords as well as their inversions for next lesson's quiz. Not to mention my song for the assessment.

In today's theory class we learned how to compose pop songs using 7th chords. Then, as a class we composed a short song. During practical class I did my presentation which was delayed for a long time and I also did ascending and descending C major chords.
I did pretty well during this lesson. I contributed to a small part of the song. I need to improve my presentation quality and my C major chords, since I have a difficulty in playing the chords backwards.
I will practice more of music composition so I'll be ready if there is an assessment for music composition and also for my personal project.

Today in theory class we listened to our friend's presentation about different types of music genres. We also submitted our booklet about our respective genres. Then we listened to some of our friends redo their singing assessments. In practical class we did the 7th chords from C until B.

I listened to my friends' presentation carefully and I didn't disturb them. In practical I did the 7th chords well but I still need to practice more.

I will continue to prepare my presentation during the Lebaran holidays. I also will practice my classical song for the upcoming assessment.
